Firearmslicensing.net Avis 16

Chris responded to my initial contact in a timely manner and we scheduled a call for the next day.

My enquiry was actually a bit of a curveball and not directly a licensing query, however his knowledge was invaluable and combined with a bit logic and common sense he came up with a solution that seems to fit the needs of the situation.

He also gave a bit of extra advice about an unrelated licensing related question which again was very helpful taking a potentially convoluted and ambiguous situation and breaking it down into a few simple steps.

I thoroughly recommend reaching out to Chris if you have any hesitation or concerns about your licensing process.

Spoke with Chris re my upcoming FAC renewal which had been worrying me as an incident from 40 years ago was threatening and upsetting.
Thanks a lot
Baz

Excellent service contacted on 4th March and had my renewal certificate in less than four weeks. I have no doubt it would still be in the “to do list” without assistance from Chris.
Thank you. Highly recommended

I gave Chris at Firearmslicencing.net a call and explained my situation from start to finish. He contacted Durham firearms and laid everything out on the table with them. Following a few discussions it was agreed I was a responsible firearms user. Thank you to Chris for mediating and I would 100% reccomend his services if you have any issues with your licencing department. Thank you again.

Chris at Firearms Licencing was really important to me getting my excessively overdue FAC granted.
It was his knowledge of the licencing system and familiarity with the jargon that enable him to point out that the delays and obstructions to my FAC were both unfair and unecessary for an application.
Had it not been for Chris's help I am certain my application would have been in kept in limbo for many more months.

Based on an email outlining my issue, Chris had already made the necessary contacts in the background, so by the time it came to discuss it over the phone, the issue had already been dealt with! Chris provided further useful information that will come in handy on my firearm ownership journey. Chris is a consummate professional and with a very down to earth approach. I would recommend him and his organisation without hesitation.

Chris at FirearmsLicensing.net provided an excellent service from start to finish. His guidance was clear, informative, and incredibly helpful, making the process of obtaining my FAC far less daunting. Communication was always prompt, and every question I had was answered with real expertise. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience and would highly recommend Chris to anyone needing support with their firearms licensing.

Chris was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He is providing an excellent service to people in the shooting community. I have already given his details to my friends.

Nice bloke very helpful would recommend him

Speed of response, and expertise around the legal obligations that the constabulary have to abide by to process applications.
Made light of an otherwise insurmountable roadblock.

Chris has provided invaluable advice and support in my efforts to obtain a new firearms license after my previous one had lapsed several years ago. He has deep knowledge and understanding of the law and how to navigate the firearm licensing process. I urged anyone who has questions about obtaining a license or needs advice to reach out to Chris.

''I wanted some advice regarding historic health matters and how this would affect my FAC & SGC renewal. I spoke to Chris and was so glad I did. He was extremely knowledgeable about the legislation, but on top of that, very reassuring. He’s very compassionate and clearly loves what he does. The offer of help and advice at any point is worth its weight in gold.''

I discovered myself to be in an unexpected and bizarre situation that required careful and sensitive handling. At sea with no rudder and a lot of wind, it was recommended to me that I should seek the help of Firearmslicensing.net, which I did.

There is good service, there is very good service, there is premium-platinum-top class-A grade service and then there is Chris Downs. Within moments of first contact, it was apparent to me that I was in the most competent hands. That first impression was accurate; everything that was downstream of first contact was peak professional, turning left when boarding the plane. I cannot imagine what superior service could be or what it might look like. I cannot recommend FIrearmslicensing.net highly enough.

I am a very happy, very impressed customer. The money I spent on this service was *extremely* well spent; the return was very much greater than the outlay. I have rated firearmslicensing.net / Chris at 5-stars — he deserves a galaxy of them. Faultless; supererogatory; efficient.

We have used this company on a few occasions for advice and to facilitate solutions on our behalf.
We have had prompt efficient service, good communications and at the moment 100% positive outcomes.
It is quite difficult to write a balanced review of this company and it’s attitude and service as we have found it is faultless.

In April 2025, I was fortunate enough to begin a journey where I required specific support from the team at Firearmslicensing.net.

Considerate, caring, understanding, efficient, organised, committed and supportive are all traits that can be attributed to the help I received.

From the initial contact, I was made to feel safe and understood. The communication and support was laid out clearly and goals were set. The support I received from the team was phenomenal and the timescales we realistic and met above and beyond my initial expectations.

My personal circumstances required very specific consideration and they supported me every step of the way. This included person centred appointments, frequent updates and communication, even to support me as an advocate within meetings. I always felt I was listened to and understood and in turn this gave me a quality of support second to none.

We live in a world where so few people take pride in their work, this is definitely not an accusation that can be thrown at Chris Downs. He is a dedicated and kind individual, with exceptional knowledge of the law. this blend of pride, dedication and intellect make him the perfect person for his job.

I was of the belief my specific needs could not be assisted and that I would fall through the cracks, Until I met with Chris and the team, who showed me what they could do to help and more importantly, they followed through with every promise and every moment of support.

EXCEPTIONAL! a level of service i never expected provided by a superb company with amazing core values. there really isn't the vocabulary to articulate my gratitude. I cannot recommend the team more thoroughly.

This testimonial is based on my experiences and has not been sponsored.

My experience was second to none.

Chris has an absolute wealth of knowledge and real world experience that ensures Firearmslicensing.net is uniquely placed to help.

He is calm, methodical, reassuring and very generous with his time.

Following his advice my renewal was completed without complication and several months ahead of schedule.
